ETA... Okay so I googled and I am being told about 1hr 15 min. Thats easy. Any suggestions for fun places to go?

Depending on your tastes...and the season....here are 35 things to do in Austin.

I personally recommend the botanical gardens. Very pretty! Zilker park has a lot of things to do.

Sixth street can be fun. I saw a burlesque show there once. Lots of live music pretty much everywhere, even the airport.
